Go to https://my.joyentcloud.com/signup?cid=70180000000ag8G&amp;promo=HOLIDAYJOY to get started. Note: The sign-up process requires you to enter a credit card, but you start with a store credit of $125 (~2 months of a 1 GB Joyent SmartMachine), and will never be charged until your account exceeds that. If you never get to $125.01, you’ll never pay a penny. -- best regards, Deirdré Straughan Community Architect, SmartOS illumos Community Manager cell 720 371 4107 ------------------------------------------- illumos-announce Modify Your Subscription: https://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=21176040&amp;id_secret=21176040-905a07e7 Unsubscribe Now: https://www.listbox.com/unsubscribe/?member_id=21176040&amp;id_secret=21176040-794f9387&amp;post_id=20121218194724:A62C112E-4975-11E2-8A58-F37B6391F5</pre> Deirdre Straughan 2012-12-19T00:47:17 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.os.illumos.announce/14 <pre>Sorry for the spam, but I figure some of you will be mad you missed out if I *don't* tell you. ;-) All details of this position here: http://joyent.com/company/careers/customer-support-engineer BTW, I get requests from time to time from other companies looking to hire people with illumos/SmartOS skills, and from people looking to be hired to use those skills. I'd be happy to add a "jobs board" to the illumos wiki, I just need a posting or two to start it rolling. If you're looking right now, send me some text. I will announce updates on the blogs, the same way I announce other illumos/SmartOS news. </pre> Deirdre Straughan 2012-11-15T19:38:41 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.os.illumos.announce/13 <pre>Brought to you by the same people who organized dtrace.conf in April, 2012, this two-day event will be your opportunity to get to know illumos and ZFS, and hear what’s new and what’s coming in this exciting and powerful family of technologies.

I have been doing more frequent news posts on the illumos blog, mostly small collections of links about the illumos family. The impetus for today’s piece is that the illumos Developers’ Council had a meeting yesterday. You can read the minutes&lt;http://wiki.illumos.org/display/illumos/illumos+Developers%27+Council+Meeting%2C+May+16%2C+2012&gt; (brief), or listen to the full 90-minute meeting on that same page. The major points agreed were: - While consensus decision-making is a goal of the Dev Council, it is not required. In cases of disagreement among the Council, a simple majority vote will decide. - The RTI process drafted by Bryan Cantrill, based on input from the Dev Council and the Advocates, is final and can be read here&lt;http://wiki.illumos.org/display/illumos/RTI+Advocacy+Process&gt; . - A vision statement drafted by Gordon Ross was ta</pre> Deirdre Straughan 2012-05-17T15:58:20 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.os.illumos.announce/10 <pre>Organized by FraOSUG.

Brian will discuss how Circonus built in this support, what types of unique telemetry are supported in Circonus and instrumenting SmartOS.

My boss at Joyent, Bryan Cantrill, is happy for me to take on this additional role for the benefit of the larger illumos community. For those who don't already know me, here's how I introduced myself to the SmartOS community back in September: http://smartos.org/2011/09/14/introducing-your-smartos-community-manager/ The tasks encompassed by my new role are still being defined, but they include fostering community communications, and encouraging transparency. As part of that, I hope to do newsletters like this once a month or so. So let's talk about how illumos as a community is working... *illumos Governance* I use the term tongue in cheek, because we've been light on governance and are largely agreed on keeping it that way.

Since many of our old friends/colleagues will be in town for Oracle Open World, we of the Illumos / SmartOS / OI community thought it would be a nice opportunity to get together, hoist a few beers, talk about old times, and maybe share our visions of the future.

Since the mailing list cutover we've been watching the moderation queue to check for issues and have noticed some people sending to the list with an address other than the one with which they have subscribed. We're not going to be doing that anymore as it's time consuming and we have limited resources. Please check your subscriptions and ensure you're using the correct address to send.
